Inquiry #1: We are having difficulty confirming the quantities of Item 24, ROADWAY EXCAVATION and item 25, ROADWAY EXCAVATION (TYPE Y-1, ADL). We applaud the effort to dispose of this marginally tainted material on site in lieu of exportation to a high cost landfill. However, the on-site disposal scheme, as depicted in the construction details, and quantified in the summary of quantities, would seem to be heavily dependent upon the accuracy of the quantities for successful execution. We find several discrepancies between the various sources of information available to bidders and some pieces of the puzzle missing. On sheet 3 of 81 (SHEET X-2), there seem to be two typical sections presenting different information for the reach from Station 1312+50 to Station 1319+50. Around the 1322+00 area, there seems to be a substantial conflict between the Cross-Sections (marked DESIGN STUDY ONLY), but probably the source of the numbers included in the summary of quantities. Please provide enough information for the bidders to perform there own quantity take-off to evaluate this crucial fit that the designers envision or provide a remedy in the event that the numbers don'e match the vision.Inquiry submitted 06/20/2013
